Australian Friends Release

Save 30% on Individual Designs
14 New CottageCutz Designs

Today, I am using 3 of the new release dies: KangarooKoala Bear w/Floral, and the Cockatoo.
Design Steps:
1.  Using the following dies cut out the little critters KangaroosKoala Bear w/Floral, and the Cockatoo.  Using the following colors of card stock: Three shades of green, brown, tan, gray, black, white, light and dark pink.  Shade the pieces with a variety of ink colors and a small applicator
2.  Use a slimline white base 8 1/2 x 3 1/2.  Cut a piece white card stock 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 with the Circle Window Slimline die.  Cut a piece of DP blue 8 1/4 x 3 1/4
3.  Tape the edges of the blue DP to the back of the white slimline circle piece.  I just taped the edges so I can slip in the little critters and leaves
4.  Arrange your leaves and critters inside each circle and then glue them down
5.  Stamp your sentiment and layer it onto a piece of green card stock.  Then glue your slimline panel to the white card base and your card is complete

For a newborn baby and a birthday

Hi, Janja here.
In the Mother's Day release we find beautiful dies which are also useful for other occasions.
I prepared a baby shaker card and a birthday card.


I used:
- CottageCutz dies: Mama Kangaroo & Joey, Mama Raccoon & Baby, Stitched Numbers, Balloons Variety, Sweet Love Borders, Spring Grass, Stitched Sewing Notions (button), Circle Set
- white card base: 4.25 x 3.35" (10,7 x 13,9 cm), folded
- patterned paper: 4 x 5.2" (10 x 13,2 cm)
- fun foam: 3.74 x 5" (9,5 x 12,6 cm)
- transparent foil
- white and colored cardstock
- a white pen
- Distress ink pads: Worn Lipstick, Vintage Photo, Hickory Smoke
- double-sided adhesive tape, self-adhesive pads, glue

Create A2 card base from a white cardstock. Cut a smaller layer from a patterned paper, and another one from a fun foam. Prepare a piece of transparent foil. 
Round the corners at the bottom. With the die cut the circle opening in a patterned paper, and in a fun foam. Stamp an inscription on a white card base.
 


Now die cut and assemble the Mama Kangaroo & Joey. This die is a perfect thing to help us welcome all those adorable little newborns. 
Also, prepare two white borders and a button. White and pink hearts will be used to fill the shaker area.




Attach Mama Kangaroo with self-adhesive pads.


For a birthday card, prepare a white card base. Cut patterned paper smaller than a card base. Stamp "Happy Birthday from all of us" in black on a patterned paper. Cut the grass from a green cardstock.


Now cut and assemble the central motif, number four and balloons. Cut off the second baby twice. 
Add dashes on balloons with a white pen. 
All my cutouts are made from colored cardstock that have the edges shadowed with Distress inks.



And we're at the end.


Have a nice day.

Mother's Day Release Design Team Samples (Part 3)

Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit today. We are sampling DT cards from the Mother's Day release.

There are 22 dies in this release that includes 3 Mothers Day phrase dies. All the other dies could be used year round for a variety of occasions.
We have had a good response when we do a group post on a new release. It gives you the opportunity to see more card samples from the Design Team. So we are continuing that again this month.

There are 4 samples for today and later in the month, we will post another set of 4 samples. Plus the design team will be featuring these dies in their posts over the next couple of weeks.

Card 1: This first sample is from Anja Zurga. She used the hat box w/flowers die and created a cake. Love her creative thought process on this one. Notice how she spread embossing paste on the sides to resemble frosting.
By using the scallop circle die it draws your eye right to the image. This would work as a birthday card or even a wedding card.
Card 2:  The next sample is another from Anja. On this super sweet card she used the Mama Kangaroo & Joey and Love You Mom dies. The card she created could be used for an anniversary card or just to let that special someone know you care.
The joey (baby kangaroo) was replaced with the heart and love you phrase. The pink heart paper really completes this design.
Card 3: The next sample is one from Lois Bak. She also used the hat box w/flowers die to create a beautiful card for Mom. It's a type of card that could have been used for Mother's Day or anytime during the year you want to send some love to Mom. The layout is from the Splitcoaststampers sketch #696.
Card 4:  The last sample for today is one that I created using the Bouquet of Tulips die. The card colors are from this week's color challenge #687 on Splitcoaststampers. Even though this die is part of the Mother's Day release, it can easily be used for any other type of card.
I hope the samples shown today have sparked some ideas for alternate ways to use these new dies.  They are all so beautiful and the detail in all of them is amazing. We will have one more group post the end of this month using these dies.
